I have been using Anylogic for quite some time now and have been falling in love with it.
I have never seen such a powefull tool easily combing several modeling methods in a true and seemlessly integrated multimethod approach. Besides the functionality provided by the application I find the 'Get support' function very valuable. I have had a few cases where the response on my questions included a good
advice or explanation and in one case the reply included the model with the suggested changes already applied. All within a few days. Excellent service helping me to quickly
move on.

Many specialists take part in plant planning process today, with everybody having their own vision, which has to be considered. AnyLogic is the best tool both for getting the operational data about the future system and an opportunity to visualize the work of it. This allows all the project participants to concretize and detalise their perceptions of how future plant has to be designed, and as a result, avoid mistakes while implementing the project. When huge long-term investments are involved, avoiding bottlenecks allows to save a lot of money during the years of plant operation, and AnyLogic is the way to help us in it.

Nikita Shchedrov, Project Engineer,

I see modeling and simulation capabilities, especially agent-based modeling techniques, as critical to helping identify breakthroughs with complex phenomena associated with health care delivery. Integrating diverse types of data with multi-method simulation can advance our understanding of biological phenomena in order to deliver higher quality health care. AnyLogic’s leadership in agent-based modeling, combined with its unique approach in a Java-based architecture, enables Health Services Consulting to navigate new territory and pursue cutting-edge projects now and in the future. I’m excited about the possibilities.

Roger A. Edwards, ScD, Vice-President,

Health Services Consulting Corporation

We chose AnyLogic to tackle our large complex problem because of the multimethod models you can use, the mix of agent based, discrete event and system dynamics is a very useful combination. My favorite part of AnyLogic is all the dashboard features, the great charts and business intelligence you can get from the agents that are working in the model.

The competition is constantly getting tougher, and today you have to compete for a one-hundredth of a percent of a market share in many industries. That’s why AnyLogic is unique. It allows you to optimize business processes and rise your resource utilization rate up to the level unachievable for most of the competitors.

Alexey Mashanov, CTO,

Magnat Group

AnyLogic is an easy to learn platform that is able to incorporate various modeling techniques to allow us to create powerful solutions for our clients.

Eric Rosenbaum, Experienced Associate,

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

I have seen a lot of simulation products and this is the only one that can combine all three methodologies. Plus, the ability to show all the graphic components has a great impact on who I present the models to. This allows AnyLogic to be THE choice for simulation modeling.

Kelvin Blyden, Supply Chain Analyst,

Campbell’s

TSG Consulting has been a long time user of Arena simulation software, and a couple of years back we decided that we needed a more scalable and powerful simulation tool so we surveyed the market and spent around 6 months extensively testing a large number of simulation software packages. AnyLogic was the tool that stood clear of the rest. Our consultants have adopted AnyLogic with enthusiasm and we are seeing gains in their productivity and the quality of the models they produce. To say we are pleased with AnyLogic is understating our enthusiasm for the product and as a company we look forward to a great future working with AnyLogic.

Peter Bodon, Technical Director,

TSG Consulting

We’ve been using AnyLogic probably for four years now. Most of my work time I was working with another academically based agent based modeling system. We were aware that AnyLogic existed, but only after a while did we think that maybe we should look at it instead of looking at the system we were using, and we found that it was easier for us to learn and to implement.

Neil McEvoy, Director,

Centre for Research in Healthcare Engineering

AnyLogic offers wide analysis and business process optimization capabilities in comparison to the traditional analytical methods. Support of multiple methods allows the analyst to choose solutions relevant to the goals of simulation and the available statistics. Other important advantages of the system are the optimization module and GIS map integration.

Nikolay Begunov, PhD, Project Manager,

Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development

AnyLogic has a nice object-oriented feature that allows you to create a component and reuse it, which is very useful to us, plus, the user interface has many built in charts. The most valuable feature of AnyLogic to me is to export a model, and let anyone run it on their computer without a software license.

Victor Chang, Software Engineer,

Intel

I would recommend AnyLogic software because it is a mature platform that allows a combination of multimethod modeling paradigms, in a very user friendly and open manner. Plus it takes advantage of Java which is also a technically mature and secure way of building models. The advantages of agent-based modeling with AnyLogic is that you can combine it with other methods and combine existing knowledge with agent based approach. Also, it’s fairly user friendly, the facilities in the graphical user interface and development are very good.

Artem Parakhine,

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

We chose AnyLogic for three reasons, technology, support and people. I think AnyLogic has the best technology in the simulation software industry, it has the agent based, process based and system dynamics, plus it is written in Java, which means many available resources and ease of finding people who can model in AnyLogic since many know Java code. AnyLogic can be deployed on the internet, you can develop an AnyLogic model and easily share with colleagues, partners, etc.

Clark Chang,

Norfolk Southern Railway

I go back with AnyLogic to the very beginning: over ten years now. Ten years ago, AnyLogic was what I call the only industrial strength product that had a hope of doing both system dynamics, agent based, and discrete event in one package. As best as I can tell, it’s still the only package that has that capability. As we do more especially in the realm of agent based models, there are some open-source tools, but none of them has anything close to the functionality that AnyLogic does.

Dr. Mark Paich, Director,

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

The benefit of agent based modeling in AnyLogic is to truly model our supply chain. Each of the agents we use in our simulation can correspond to vessels, distribution centers, ports of loading, ports of discharge, our retailers, etc. with their own behaviors. AnyLogic makes it easy for me to give our many agents their own customizable behaviors and let them interact together in a fully integrated software.

Beth Tyrie,

Fruit of the Loom, Inc

We chose AnyLogic because we found that traditional techniques did not do just to what we were trying to model. When we saw AnyLogic, it was a great ah-ha moment to say this is the tool I need to solve the problems I am trying to solve.
The benefits of a multi-method modeling approach are that you can solve the problem more naturally. If you do not have the ability to do multi-method modeling, you end up creating all types of anomalies in your model, fitting the methodology rather than fitting the problem. Multimethod modeling is a great effective tool.

Bipin Chadha, Ph.D., Data Scientist,

USAA

Multimethod modeling is the most important feature of AnyLogic. The biggest advantage for me was the capability for advanced healthcare modelling and simulation.

Geoff McDonnell, Director,

Adaptive Care Systems and Synergia

I’ve been using AnyLogic for about three or four years now, and I found that it’s probably one of the better solutions out there for really being able to implement models if you don’t necessarily have a very extensive coding background to start with.

Joseph Simkins,

Battelle Memorial Institute

We found AnyLogic to be the best simulation platform on the market in terms of speed, flexibility, programability.

Silviu Trebuian, Managing Director,

Simando Technology SRL

AnyLogic has demonstrated the capability of going from an academic environment to helping develop realistic tools in the areas of resource optimization. The simulation framework provides the ability to use both agent-based and event-based methods to describe the stochastic behavior of machine-controlled and human-controlled objects. Furthermore, the flexibility of creating customized code and outputting multiple aspects of the simulation permits for developers to test aspects of the tools being developed. Finally, the support of AnyLogic (both in the purchasing and development phases) was tremendous.

Moises Sudit, Ph.D., Director, Information Fusion Group,

CUBRC

We use AnyLogic to understand better, improve and demonstrate how complex systems work. My personal favorite aspect of AnyLogic is the fact that it compiles the simulation models into a general purpose, fully object-oriented program language, like Java. Which allows us to embed optimization algorithms into simulations without writing unnecessary code.

Onur Dulgeroglu, Senior Analytics Engineer,

GE Global Research

AnyLogic helps predict risks and trade offs to support decision making. It allows the users to visualize and validate plant design to gain buy in and ensure future production capacity, and forecast future workforce needs and risks.
AnyLogic is very flexible, you can integrate it with many things. The software seems to evolve, and the developers listen to comments.

Wenchun Annie Wang, Industrial Engineer – Simulation,

CH2M Hill

We chose AnyLogic because of its flexibility. We have many customers in many industries that have very different requirements because their supply chains are different, and we’ve been very easily able to change our models quickly to interact with the customers. The agent based tool is very powerful for us, our automated robots are highly intelligent, so we want to represent those behaviors using the agent based approach inside the AnyLogic tool, and we have very large fleets, up to 500 robots in a system, and AnyLogic is able to handle the complexity of the interactions amongst those 500 robots and able to do computations efficiently.

Dr. Larry M. Sweet, CTO,

Symbotic LLC

AnyLogic has been perfect for us because of its flexibility and multimethod approach. We are able to look at a lot of different types of interactions, that you couldn’t typically do with, for example, a discrete modeling software. We are able to address many different problems with just one tool, which is fantastic for us.

Allan Chegus, President,

Stream Systems Ltd.

AnyLogic is flexible: I don't feel hemmed in with any approach, and version 7 is a huge leap forward in the multimethod capability. We usually make changes with our eyes wide open thanks to AnyLogic!

We were looking at the behavior of our shippers in the oil & gas industry, and we needed to model this without using hundreds of pages of code. AnyLogic was the optimal method, we could create agents, and especially dynamically create multiple agents, plus we used multimethod since there were other processes where we needed to use discrete event and system dynamics.
